Answer

(i) Given,

⇒ (2x + 3y)(4x2 - 6xy + 9y2)

⇒ (2x + 3y)[(2x)2 - 2x × 3y + (3y)2]

Comparing above equation with (a±b)(a2ab+b2)=a3±b3(a \pm b)(a^2 \mp ab + b^2) = a^3 \pm b^3, we get :

a = 2x and b = 3y

a3 + b3 = (2x)3 + (3y)3 = 8x3 + 27y3.

Hence, (2x + 3y)(4x2 - 6xy + 9y2) = 8x3 + 27y3.

(ii) Given,

(3x5x)(9x2+15+25x2)(3x5x)[(3x)2+3x×5x+(5x)2]\Rightarrow \Big(3x - \dfrac{5}{x}\Big)\Big(9x^2 + 15 + \dfrac{25}{x^2}\Big) \\[1em] \Rightarrow \Big(3x - \dfrac{5}{x}\Big)\Big[(3x)^2 + 3x \times \dfrac{5}{x} + \Big(\dfrac{5}{x}\Big)^2\Big]

Comparing above equation with (a±b)(a2ab+b2)=a3±b3(a \pm b)(a^2 \mp ab + b^2) = a^3 \pm b^3, we get :

a = 3x and b = 5x\dfrac{5}{x}

a3b3=(3x)3(5x)3=27x3125x3.\Rightarrow a^3 - b^3 = (3x)^3 - \Big(\dfrac{5}{x}\Big)^3 \\[1em] = 27x^3 - \dfrac{125}{x^3}.

Hence, (3x5x)(9x2+15+25x2)=27x3125x3\Big(3x - \dfrac{5}{x}\Big)\Big(9x^2 + 15 + \dfrac{25}{x^2}\Big) = 27x^3 - \dfrac{125}{x^3}.
